Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
充斥著刻意空洞的女同笑話（母親對Gay的過度接受從有積極意義的詼諧喜劇拍漸變成無聊笑梗，女主冷笑話王的人設並不成功），瑣碎無謂的對白（高中生連綿不絕的無營養幼稚口水話），平平無奇的情節設計（塗鴉停學危機、田徑特訓交易、雙向真相揭露、暗戀秘密），浮誇的繽紛情感表現，以及極不crush的化學反應（可能童年時期還更可愛些），看了半小時即味同嚼蠟。姐妹陰影（twins中的備胎）、情感課題（敢於面對自身的emotion與脆弱，迷戀的幻滅與覺醒，愛的如期而至），雖然努力昇華立意，還是極缺深度和新意。可以把青春愛情成長喜劇拍得如此淺薄敷衍無趣，Hulu也很不容易。
从Heartstopper的les线到这部Crush，没有girl in red的Z世代女铜影视剧是不完整的！
未成年性别少数群体恋爱 =。= 太正确不能抵挡。
高中女生最大的烦恼是担心自己喜欢的艺术学院会不会录取自己，人生中最开心的一刻是和妈妈出柜的那一刻，面临的最纠结的事是不知道该选自己一直暗恋的女生还是在相处中慢慢产生感情的女生。这一二三罗列出来，我只能说美国人偷我人生。
#和nz人一起看# 近来看crush和heartstopper，觉得就是把异性恋的校园青春片换成了同性而已。从社会文化角度来讲当然是好的，异性恋和同性恋在影视艺术中逐渐有了平等的表达方式。但从艺术创作上来讲无疑是糟糕的，只是滥俗的情节罢了。
三位主角都太好看了 只是故事让我想到heartstopper 却又没有那部那样辗转深刻 可爱 只能用这两个字形容这部电影
女同性恋被拿捏得死死的。
很多欢乐在里面呀，很多色彩，然后如果真的实现love is love了，我们完全没必要苦大仇深了~有的就是因为爱变滴美好~希望我们每个人都变成一条吐着粉红色爱心泡泡的金鱼，看着喜欢的人，日日夜夜合不上眼~
作为女通讯录最幸福的事就是发现我爱上了一个女孩的瞬间
很老套的teen romcom；妈妈也太supportive了🥹
加州甜妹的亲情，爱情与友情

剧情套路，演技稀烂，情节莫名其妙，hulu就差把敷衍两字写在片头了😓
普普通通。但喜欢一个人见到对方真的会有彩虹泡泡吗？本enfp强势回答是的！🥰
被空手道那段吸引来看的，土屋太凤的声音真好听啊。至于知性ai，希望现实中永远不会有。
虽然但是，拉拉正逐渐走进校园青春片，正是因为normal，反而会觉得受众群体会更大
轻松愉快的酷儿校园恋爱 女主妹妹真的很像陈好
老阿姨看了直呼内行！！！！暗戀的情愫好真啊笑死我了
